Split/Second features Bayonetta reference

From the cheeky Modern Warfare 2 references in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 to SEGA's history being immortalised within Bayonetta, we love it when video games reference one another - and Split/Second: Velocity is the latest to add to the list.

Uhh... Am I missing something? A bayonet is an actual object...

chak_5776d ago

bayonetta, the game, you know, beat the crap out of'em all and such.

Tho a bayonetta reference in an arcade car game... weird

darkmurder5776d ago

How the hell is this an easter egg? A bayonet is a weapon, god what is it with today's wanna be journalists....

HenryFord5776d ago

@darkmurder: What is it with you? Inform yourself, Bayonetta is a game developed by SEGA. The weapon "Bayonetta" does not exist. Maybe you mean the bayonet?

OMG, Bayonet is a blade used as a rifle attachment for stabbing purposes in close quarters.
This isn't Bayonetta reference.

Come on, it's common knowledge.

thegush5776d ago

You're right, a bayonet is an actual dobject. But a 'Bayonet R' is a reference to the game Bayonetta.

xino5776d ago

this guy must be retarded...how is Bayonet R a reference to Bayonetta!???

The trash article mentions Bad Company reference to Modern Warfare 2. That makes sense since they are both FPS, War theme games and a clash between one another.

But Bayonetta and Split Second are different games, one is an Hack n Slash, the other is a Racing game! There's no clash between one another. Bayonetta had a clash with Darksiders and Split Second is currently having a clash with Blur.

Bayonetta is a character, Bayonet is a weapon device, Split Second Bayonet R is a car. incohesive!

To top it all, if you look at the Bayonet R car, the colour doesn't even reference to Bayonetta herself.

thegush5776d ago

If you say it out loud does that help?

Games don't have to be of the same genre for references to work. There's a pac-man reference in Bioshock.

Megaton5776d ago (Edited 5776d ago )

Hey, where'd all the straws go? ...oh, I see.

bay·o·net [bey-uh-nit] – noun
1. a daggerlike steel weapon that is attached to or at the muzzle of a gun and used for stabbing or slashing in hand-to-hand combat.

alphakennybody5776d ago

I don't see it as a reference. theres a car in ridge racer aslo called bayonet could it be also a reference about bayonetta/s?

CranberryPub5776d ago

Bayonetta. Bayonet R.

Say it out loud.

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.

-Foxtrot388d ago (Edited 388d ago )

Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.

I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online

jwillj2k4388d ago

Same universe doesn’t mean same world or galaxy

SeTTriP388d ago

Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.

They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.

-Foxtrot387d ago

On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.

micdagoat19387d ago

would be great if switch 2 upgrades resolution and frame rate on bayonetta 2

Dying at 61 in Japan is too young.

jznrpg561d ago

I saw this on an anime site yesterday. She had an awesome voice. RIP

Chevalier561d ago

Major is definitely one of my all time favourite anime characters so this is really sad

FACTUAL evidence561d ago

Too many greats passed in 2024. Life is never promised. R.I.P
